Rum Punch

What rum is best for rum punch? You can use both white and dark rum to add a layer of flavor to this typically fruit juicy drink.

- White rum is most frequently used in mixed drinks, since it’s a bit lighter bodied.
- Dark rum has a more complex flavor profile.
- Orange and lime juices are used in equal parts
- Grenadine syrup is pomegranate-based and it’s absolutely possible to make your own with pomegranate juice, pomegranate syrup, and sugar if you want to put in a little extra leg work. We encourage you to seek out a grenadine that is not overly sweet.
- Pineapple juice for tartness
- Angostura bitters, just a splash, to balance it all out.

How To Make Rum Punch

1. Measure all of the ingredients
2. Combine them in a punch bowl (now’s the time to get out your grandma’s cool pressed glass one!) or a glass pitcher. We recommend a glass serving vessel because the rum punch is a lovely rosy color from the combination of grenadine and juice.
3. Serve over ice.
4.Finish with a few dashes of Angostura bitters, a garnish of Maraschino cherry and orange wedge.
5. Enjoy!
